A unique manual-focus lens designed exclusively for macro shooting, between life-size (1x) and 5x life-size - at its maximum magnification, you can fill a 35mm frame with a grain of rice. Compatible with the Macro Ring Lites and new Macro Twin Lite, it eliminates the need for awkward bellows accessories for many macro shooters. The optical system uses a floating system to preserve optical quality at different focusing distances, and features a UD-glass element.

"In the specifications Canon give a Maximum Length which should read Minimum Length (3.8" @ 1X) when retracted. The Max Length is actually (9.4" @ 5X) when fully extended.

"My kit is mainly geared towards macro shooting, and this is an essential part of that kit. The lens is very well built and heavy, something I look for in lenses. It is easily as sturdy feeling as my (recently sold) 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L, which is saying a lot. It "zooms" nice and smoothly and produc …" Read Full Review »

Greatest Macro lens ever invented!

★★★★★

"Greatest Macro lens ever! Can be hand held at 1 to 1.5X; anything more than that and a tripod or monopod is warranted. It takes the honeybees a while to adjust to the photographer's presence when you are shooting them and their food source from a distance of fractions of an inch, but they calm down …" Read Full Review »
